Welcome to the Rock & Roll Wayward Project
Anticipation has been building, and now it’s finally here! This isn’t your typical before-and-after—it’s a complete disruption of expectations. The Rock & Roll Wayward Project is all about turning the volume up to 11, a space that radiates with raw energy and a fearless attitude. It’s a home that was ready to break free from its constraints and reflect the bold, untamed spirit of its owners.
If you read the part one of this two part series, then you are aware that when we first stepped into this space, it felt like it was waiting—waiting for something to stir it awake. So, we did just that. By blending rich, earthy wood tones with striking details, we’ve created a space that feels as sophisticated as it is rebellious, as polished as it is daring. Every corner now vibrates with life and energy, much like a song that refuses to fade into the background.
Let’s take you behind the scenes to see how we reimagined this home, where a mix of grit and rock ‘n’ roll glam left the ordinary behind!
-THE SECOND PRIMARY BEDROOM-
Starting upstairs, the before, on this bedroom was a creative wasteland—white walls, tired furniture, and a layout that did nothing to honor the mountain views beyond its windows. It was a space with no pulse, no attitude, and certainly no place in a house that thrives on bold, unapologetic design.
So, we stripped it down to its bones and rebuilt it with edge, soul, and a heavy dose of sophistication.
Walls were drenched in Sherwin-Williams’s Superior Bronze, immediately wrapping the space in deep, moody warmth. To crank up the contrast, Devonshire wallpaper by Wells Abbott was layered in, its subtle pattern adding refinement without stealing the show. Angela Brown curtains now drape the windows, lending a sense of drama while keeping the light perfectly diffused.
Before // A dated cabin aesthetic with heavy wood accents, mismatched patterns, and outdated furnishings that overshadow the room’s natural light and potential.
After // The crown jewel is a custom-designed bed by ROWEAM, its upholstered and oak headboard sculpted with key-like edges—an architectural statement that fuses strength with artistry, commanding the space with quiet authority.
The crown jewel? A custom-designed bed by ROWEAM featuring an upholstered oak headboard—bold, structured, and standing as the undeniable headliner of the room. Were seamlessly woven into the design, proving that personality and polish can ride in the same lane.
A pair of Zara Home table lamps cast a low, intimate glow, setting the perfect mood. Meanwhile, a 1950s French novelty chair leans into the unexpected, adding a note of playful rebellion. Underfoot, a plush, textured rug grounds the space, sealing the deal on a bedroom that now oozes rock-and-roll luxury—equal parts seductive, layered, and effortlessly cool.
— THE SECOND PRIMARY BATHROOM —
Before, this bathroom was a forgettable relic—generic tile, basic cabinetry, and a clashing pink-and-white color scheme that lacked depth, drama, and design conviction. It needed a complete reset to align with the rich, layered aesthetic of the adjoining bedroom. Another fun fact is we actually made this “before” bathroom into two bathrooms. One for the second primary bathroom still has double sinks and a large walk-in shower cresting out of thin air a bathroom for the bunk room.
We dialed up the contrast and infused warmth throughout. Golden zellige tiles now wrap the walls and shower, their handcrafted imperfections adding movement and soul. Sherwin-Williams’s Caramel Corn coats the walls, creating an enveloping, moody effect. A custom-designed vanity blends dark wood with sleek black stone for a refined, grounded look, while brass fixtures add quiet luxury. A bespoke mirror reflects soft, ambient light, enhancing the warmth, and an open shelf below neatly stores plush towels for added function.
Before // One bathroom - Dated, uninspired bathroom stuck in the past—generic tile, clunky cabinetry, and an dull pink-and-white color scheme that felt more motel than mountain retreat.
After // Two bathrooms - One a moody, textural haven enveloped in golden zellige tiles, Sherwin-Williams’s Caramel Corn walls, and a sleek custom vanity.
After // Two bathrooms - Second small yet functional just right for an additional space created out of thin air for the kids’s bunk rooms.
To break up the golden tones, daisy-patterned floor tiles introduce geometric contrast without overwhelming the space. The fully tiled shower becomes an immersive experience, with brass rain showerheads lending old-world charm in a modern setting.
The transformation goes beyond aesthetics—it’s experiential. This bathroom that once was one space and is now two full bathrooms! Space planning at its finest!
— THE DUAL BATHROOM —
Wait, but there is moore ;)
What was once a bland and forgettable bathroom is now a dual bathroom that’s as functional as it is fabulous. Originally one tired space, we completely reimagined it for the kids' bunk room, giving each side its own distinct vibe while maintaining a seamless flow and a sense of fun.
We refined every detail, creating a space where serenity and sophistication coexist. Each element stands with quiet confidence, yet together they form a design that feels both cohesive and effortlessly curated.
Sculpted tiles catch the shifting light, adding depth and movement, while a restrained palette and sleek fixtures bring a sense of calm elegance. What was once an afterthought is now a space of understated beauty and refined simplicity—a testament to the power of thoughtful design.
Before// An outdated bathroom dominated by beige tile, harsh lighting, and clashing rustic elements, leaving the space feeling flat and in need of a modern refresh.
After // A warm, modern bathroom that masterfully blends rich textures and earthy tones, with handcrafted tiles, bold contrast, and sleek fixtures, creating a space that feels both timeless and elevated.
From practical to playful, the space is now perfect for the kids while still chic enough to impress any guest. The dual bathroom is the unsung hero of the home—bold, functional, and ready to handle everything from bath time to busy mornings, all with that signature MOORE touch.
— THE KID’S ROOM —
Originally conceived as a game room, this space has shed its impersonal past and evolved into the ultimate family bunk room—a retreat designed for sleepovers, late-night storytelling, and quiet moments of escape. What was once a stark and disjointed collection of rustic furnishings has been reimagined into a warm, layered sanctuary that blends nostalgia with modern comfort.
Before// What once was a forgotten game room, complete with a lone pool table and an antler chandelier, is now a family-favorite retreat filled with soul and style.
After// From game room to ultimate sleepover sanctuary—custom bunk beds, warm textures, and a groovy chandelier set the stage for late-night stories and cozy retreats.
After// A quiet moment within the chaos—this tucked-away vanity and reading nook prove that even a bunk room can have its own little sanctuary.
At the heart of the transformation are the custom-designed oak bunk beds, which are more than just sleeping spaces—they are personal hideaways, each equipped with reading nooks and a makeup station for the girls, ensuring both function and whimsy coexist. Soft drapery adds privacy, while richly textured bedding and vintage-inspired headboards inject warmth and depth into the space.
Blair and the MHD team curated an eclectic mix of decor to give the room its character—grounding it with a handmade midcentury kilim and layering in elements like the client’s red De Sede patchwork ottoman for a punch of vintage charm. Above it all, a groovy chandelier casts a playful yet sophisticated glow, completing a design that feels intimate, inviting, and effortlessly cool. What was once just a game room is now a space brimming with soul—a place where design meets memories in the making.

As seen in Architectural Digest, this home doesn’t just sit quietly in the mountains—it makes noise. Every inch of it was designed to push boundaries, flip expectations, and prove that style doesn’t have to play it safe. From brutalist kitchen islands to moody bedrooms that wrap you in texture, every choice was made to stand out.

The Telluride project was a full-scale interior and exterior design, renovation, refresh, and furnishings project spanning two floors. The scope included the Living Room, Dining Room, Family Lounge, Kitchen, Entryway, Kitchen Living, Bathrooms, Main Bedroom, Kids' Room, and Second Bedroom. The transformation reworked the cabin’s layout, blending its rustic log structure with bold, eclectic elements while preserving its mountain retreat charm.
